Product Description
When industrial equipment needs power you can count on for years at a time, the LITH-ER26500M-WL is built for the job. This 3.6V, C-size lithium battery is a verified drop-in replacement for the ER26500M and SAFT LSH14, and arrives with pre-attached 6-inch wire leads — so installation is clean, quick, and connection-ready right out of the box.
Steady Power, Start to Finish
This battery uses lithium thionyl chloride chemistry to hold a stable 3.6V throughout its entire discharge cycle. That consistent voltage matters in equipment like PLCs, utility meters, and memory backup systems, where unexpected power drops can cause data loss or system faults. At 6,500mAh, there's plenty of capacity to keep critical devices running long-term without frequent replacements.
Ready for Harsh Conditions
The LITH-ER26500M-WL is designed to perform where standard batteries can't. It operates across a wide temperature range of -76°F to +185°F, making it a reliable choice for outdoor enclosures, industrial control panels, and environments where temperatures swing to extremes. It won't falter in the cold or break down in the heat.
Stock It With Confidence
With a shelf life of up to 10 years, this battery holds its charge even when stored for extended periods. That makes it an ideal candidate for maintenance stock and emergency spares — no need to worry about it losing capacity before you need it.
Common applications include:
- Programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
- Utility and energy meters
- Memory backup systems
- Industrial sensors and monitoring equipment
Whether you're replacing a battery in the field or building out your maintenance inventory, the LITH-ER26500M-WL is a dependable, ready-to-install solution for industrial power needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What batteries does the LITH-ER26500M-WL replace?
A: This battery is a direct replacement for the ER26500M and the SAFT LSH14. It is compatible with PLCs, utility meters, memory backup systems, and other industrial equipment that uses either of those battery types.
Why does this battery have wire leads?
A: Many industrial devices require a hardwired battery connection rather than a standard drop-in slot. The 6-inch wire leads allow you to connect the battery directly to terminals or connectors inside the equipment, simplifying installation in tight or hard-to-reach spaces.
Can this battery handle extreme temperatures?
A: Yes. The LITH-ER26500M-WL is rated to operate from -76°F to +185°F, making it well-suited for outdoor enclosures, industrial control panels, and other demanding environments where temperature swings are common.
How long can this battery be stored before use?
A: This battery has a shelf life of up to 10 years, so it holds its charge reliably during long-term storage. It's a great option to keep on hand for scheduled maintenance or emergency replacements.
Is the LITH-ER26500M-WL rechargeable?
A: No. This is a primary (non-rechargeable) lithium battery. It is designed for long-term, single-use applications where a reliable, set-and-forget power source is needed.
